75 Israelis From History for Israel@75

Though they may have played important roles in helping Israel achieve statehood, these 75 people deserve recognition for what they did after Israel’s Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948. They are listed alphabetically, from S.Y. Agnon to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, and each person appears with an image and a brief bio and has a unique page on the CIE website in addition to appearing on the list page. As with CIE's Israel@75 lists of Zionist founders and current Israelis, the list moves beyond politicians and generals to present a glimpse at Israel as a whole and the many types of people involved in building a state and a society. As with all of the lists, these 75 people from Israel's past can be the basis of biographical studies to illuminate Israel's history and reality.
